Now, it may work for scamming the regulator, but just as easily could not. It's still forwarding a payment.
The idea is that it should be as much scamming the regulator as running a lightning routing node is. It's basically a reductionist approach. The only difference is protocol layer vs application layer.
You can run a lightning node not as a router
Point remains, it's not trust-less, it works poorly relative to prisms, and appeals to scamming the regulator, while valid, are not real solutions
